Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of machines for lifting loads, and in particular to boom cranes for a cameraman to be used for movement of a shooting apparatus during film-or television-program shooting.
- a boom crane for a cameraman is known (RU-A-2,028,271), wherein a shooting apparatus comprising a boom installed on a support by means of a hinged coupling that provides turning around in both vertical and horizontal planes and consists of at least two parts connected by additional couplings, a cantilever with a system of crane boom mass compensation (counterweight), central and lateral struts with rope pulleys on the ends thereof, and tension wires extending around the pulleys, one end thereof being connected with stretching mechanisms arranged on the end of a cantilever and the other end thereof being connected with the additional couplings.
- a shooting apparatus comprising a boom installed on a support by means of a hinged coupling that provides turning around in both vertical and horizontal planes and consists of at least two parts connected by additional couplings, a cantilever with a system of crane boom mass compensation (counterweight), central and lateral struts with rope pulleys on the ends thereof, and tension wires extending around the pulley
- the known device has the disadvantage that the shooting apparatus arranged on the above-mentioned crane can be moved only in vertical and horizontal planes so as to follow all movements of the end of the crane boom, so that it can not provide views which are necessary for shooting an object located within a hemisphere circumscribed by an end of a crane boom radius.
- US-A-4 952 953 describes a camera mounting arrangement comprising a carriage and a movable counter weight.
- the problem underlying the invention is to provide a boom crane for a cameraman permitting the film or television shooting of an object positioned at any point within the hemisphere circumscribed by the end of the crane boom radius, from any view.
- the technical result that can be obtained by the present invention is the fact that the mass center of the boom is kept constant with regard to the hinge thereof for turning around in vertical plane during reciprocating of the shooting apparatus along the boom of the crane.
- FIG.1 A general view of the boom crane for a cameraman is shown in Fig.1 (side view).
- Fig. 2 shows the sectional view A-A of the boom crane, explaining the method for moving a shooting apparatus on a boom crane for a cameraman during film or televison and the design of the boom crane for a cameraman.
- the boom crane for a cameraman has a support 1 (Fig. 1) provided with a fixed base 2.
- the boom crane is on the support 1 by a bearing unit 4 so that a column 3 can turn around a vertical axis of the support 1.
- a central section 5 is turnably mounted on the column 3 by means of a bearing unit 6 for turning in a vertical plane running through the central section 5.
- a cantilever 7 is fixed on which a big counterweight 8 (or a boom mass compensation element) for balancing the crane and stretching mechanisms 9 are arranged.
- central couplings 10 On the other side of the central section 5 sections of an assembled hollow boom 11 are attached by connecting couplings 10. On the connecting couplings 10 there are arranged central struts 12 and lateral struts 13 the free ends of which are provided with guides 14 for laying of tension wires 15 having one end fastened to the connecting couplings 10 and the another end fastened to the tensioning mechanisms 9 of the central tension wires 16 and the lateral tension wires 17, respectively.
- a carriage 19 with a shooting apparatus 20 is arranged on rollers 18 (Fig. 2), connected by means of a rope-pulley system 21 with a counterweight 22 thereof arranged inside the assembled hollow boom 11 on rollers 23.
- Sections of the outer surfaces 24 and inner surfaces 25 of the assembled hollow boom 11 serve as guide means for the rollers 18 of the carriage 19 with the shooting apparatus 20 and for the rollers 23 of the counterweight 22, respectively, along the whole length thereof.
- a trolley 26 is arranged on the assembled hollow boom 11 for picking up and tensioning of a connecting cable for the shooting apparatus 20.
- the shooting apparatus 20 (Fig. 1) is mounted on the carriage 19 with the rollers 18 on the end of the assembled hollow boom 11 of the crane while an object for shooting is placed at a particular distance from the assembled hollow boom 11 within its turning radius in its opposite part closer to the counterweight 8.
- a cameraman turns the assembled hollow boom 11 toward the object and translates the shooting apparatus 20 along the outer guide surface sections 24 of the assembled hollow boom 11 toward the object, i.e. to the side of the counterweight 8.
- the counterweight 22 moves on the rollers 23 parallel to the advance movement of the shooting apparatus 20 along the inner guide surface sections 25 of the assembled hollow boom 11 in the opposite direction (toward the boom end), toward the end of the boom along the inner guides 25 of the boom 11, whereby the center of mass of the assembled hollow boom 11 is kept constant relative to the bearing unit 6 for turning the boom in the vertical plane.
- the apparatus is moved until the necessary view for shooting the object is achieved.

Description
Claims (3)
- A boom crane for a cameraman comprisinga central section (5) mounted on a support (1) and being turnable in vertical and horizontal planes,a cantilever (7) fixed on one side of the central section (5), a big counterweight (8) for balancing the crane being arranged on the cantilever (7) anda boom (11) attached on the other side of the central section (5),a carriage (19) with a shooting apparatus (20) arranged on the boom (11) for reciprocating movement, a counterweight (22) of the carriage (19) and the shooting apparatus (20 being connected to the carriage (19) by means of a rope-pulley system (21),whereby while moving of the carriage (19) with the shooting apparatus (20) in one direction the counterweight (22) thereof moves in the opposite direction, such that the center of mass of the boom 11 is kept constant.
- A boom crane for a cameraman according to claim 1, characterized in that the boom (11) is hollow and assembled from at least two elements, whereby the counterweight (22) is arranged on rollers (23) inside the crane boom (11).
- A boom crane for a cameraman according to claim 1, characterized by struts (12, 13), tension wires (15, 16, 17) extending around the struts (12, 13) and tension wire stretching mechanisms (9).
